I love writing these e-mails every few weeks. It is my chance to share the great work being done. To tell stories about great artists and great leaders. It is my chance to show you what your support makes possible.
You made it possible for over 3,500 young people to have a safe place to do homework. You made it possible for us to open the Gene Haas STEAM Innovation Center. For our teens to learn directly from Malala Yousefzai, David Cameron and Neil deGrasse Tyson. For parents to know their kids are with supportive and caring professionals.
But we aren't done.
In January, we will open our 22nd Club – the Port Hueneme Teen Center. Construction will start on two new STEAM Innovation Centers. We will launch “Be Kind” a trauma informed curriculum focused on social skill recovery. We will increase our efforts to fight learning loss and support mental health.
I can't wait to tell you all about it.
To everyone who made a gift in 2022 - thank you.
If you haven't had the opportunity, please give today. Together, we will make great things happen for young people.
Thank you,
Erin Antrim
CEO Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Oxnard and Port Hueneme
